Chocolate Mousse Loaf

"This showstopping loaf would make a tempting centerpiece for the most sumptuous holiday table."
  • 315 ml whipping cream, divided
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 300 g semisweet baking chocolate
  • 75 g butter or margarine
  • 80 ml light corn syrup
  • 20 g confectioners' sugar
  • 3 ml vanilla extract
  • RASPBERRY SAUCE:
    • 190 g frozen raspberries, thawed
    • 40 ml light corn syrup
In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup whipping cream and egg yolks; set aside. In a 3-qt. saucepan, heat chocolate, butter and corn syrup over low heat until chocolate and butter are melted. Remove from the heat. Stir about 1 cup into the egg yolk mixture; return all to the pan. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon or reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the heat; cool. In a mixing bowl, beat remaining cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture until well blended. Pour into a 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 8-10 hours.
For sauce, place raspberries in a blender; cover and puree. Strain and discard seeds. Stir corn syrup into raspberry puree; refrigerate. Unmold mousse onto a serving platter; serve with raspberry sauce.

Notes

This was a much appreciated recipe. It is a bit heavy, wonder I can make it lighter with more foamy cream.

Marinated Couscous with Harissa Tomatoes

250gramcouscous
350ml.hot vegetable stock
4sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
50grampitted black olives, quartered
1tablespooncapers
30gramfresh coriander leaves, chopped
----For the tomatoes----
1tablespoonolive oil
2teaspoonharissa paste
6plum tomatoes, halved
40gramrocket
Look out for harissa (Moroccan chilli paste) in the spice or 'special selection' areas of most large supermarkets. Alternatively, mix a little chilli sauce into 2 teaspoons tomato purée and use that instead.

1 Place the couscous in a shallow dish and pour over the stock. Leave to stand for 10 minutes until all the stock has been absorbed. Fluff of with a fork.

2 Meanwhile, brush a large griddle pan with 1 teaspoon of the oil and heat until smoking. Mix the remaining oil with the harissa and spread over the cut side of the plum tomatoes. Place cut-side down on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes.

3 Stir the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, capers and coriander into the couscous and season.

4 Divide the couscous between the serving plates. Arrange the tomatoes over the couscous, top with the rocket and serve.
